If you have a cpu server then you can always cpu to it as a different user using the -u option. If you have just a single standalone machine you can do the same by running keyfs and listen in /bin/termrc.local This does not give the new user ownership of your terminal's devices so some some more fiddling is needed - E.G. you will need to start another factotum and upas/fs. It does give you somthing like unix's su(1) command but that is what you would use under *nix isn't it? -Steve
